THE END AT LAST.
Rev. Henry Ward Beecher is Attack d by
Apoplexy aad Quietly
Passes Away.
His Wife, Children and Friends Surround
His Death Bed.

BROOKLYN, March S.-Rev. Henry Ward
Beecherdled at 9:45 O'Clock this morning
He began to sink slowly after midnight and
the watchers by his bedside soon saw that the
end Mas near. When morning came Or. Searle
issued a bulletin that death was a question of
a few hours only. The patient lay on his
back, tie merest motion Of his cheeks alone
indicating respiration. He was as still as he
was when breathing ceased. His couutenanee
had changed from q course TO a fine appear
ancc, and hie white hair made a sort Of halo
round his face. The room was bright with
the morning sun. Near the head Of the dying
man knelt his aged wife in solemn PRAYER,
and by her side were Col. II. \. Bcccher
aud his wife, son and daughters. There were
also present W. &. Bcccher and wife, Rev.
Samuel Scovile and wife. Miss Scoyille, Miss
Billiard, Rty. :. h. Halliday, Rev. Mr.. White,
}. b. Pond and several others. All heads
were bowed in silent prayer, and tears flowed
unchecked. At 9:45 precisely the regular
sound of the stertorous breathing, which had
been heard for hours, suddenly ceased and all
knew that the great preacher had passed to
the other world.
Death was calm and painless. Mr. Beecher
never recovered consciousness after the
paralysis supplied bis mind. IL is TOO early
a. yet To announce anything definite about
the funeral, but The .ntermcnt will probably
be In Greenwood cemetery, BROOKLYN. II is
likely Plymouth church Will buy the burial lot
there and erect a handsome monument over
the remains Of its great pastor.
Flags are displayed at half mast on the
public buildings in New York and Brooklyn
and on the bridge.
The following was among the kilograms re.
cfived:
EXECUTIvE MANSION, WASHINGTON, March
S.-Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher: Accept nv
heartfelt sympathy in this hour OF your be-
reavement, with the hope that comfort may
be vouchsafed from the heavenly source YOU

The London Telegraph says; mo preach

intensity OF heart into his di-courses than the

in Plymouth church. With all bis faults, and
they were many, IL Is doubtful II America

Fatal Prohibition Fight.

DEs MONIES, Ia, March 8.-Early
last evening Constable Logan, who has
been very active in the enforcement of
the prohibitory law, stopped a dray
with a barrel of whisky on it belonging
to Hubert, Hess & Co.. Wholesale
druggists, which was about to be de-
livered to a retail druggist He order
ell the driver, Alb Campbell. to go with
him back TO the warehouse TO see if he
had a permit for delivering liquor.
Entering the store he went to the rear
and said that this driver was under ar
rest and wanted to know if the house
had a delivery permit for him. Mr.. c.
II, Ward, one of the proprictors stand
ing by, replied that he did not know.
Thereupon another driver. Joe Rowe,
stopped and inquired VIA. was the
matter. Logan replied that he had ar
rested Campbell.
Have you got q warrant for his ar
rest?" asked Rowe.
''It's none Of your id business"
replied The constable; "and if you
don't keep still I'll arrest you, too"
"Not unless you have a warrant"
said Rowe; and, turning TO Campbell,
he said: III he hasn't got "A warrant
you go along and tend to your work.
As he spoke, Logan drew his re-
volver and fired at Rowe, who returned
the fire, sending a bullet irto Logan's
breast. The latter, with revolver ex-
tended, started after Campbell, but fell
within ten feet and died in a minute.
Rowe was at once arrested and is now
in itil. There is much excitement in
town oven the murder. but no serious
results are feared. Public opinion is
divided, some holding that the fatal
shot was fired in self-defense and that
Logan was altogether too free with his
pistol. Logan belonged TO a quartette
of constables who have been making
nearly all the searches an seizures un-
der the prohibitory law Of late and
have been very ready to draw rcvolvers
whenever their authority was called in
question. Rowe was a peaceful, good
natured fellow, and has ALWAYS borne a
good reputation. He had been twice
arrested before for delivering liquors
in his capacity of drayman, and it is
thought that he he had been goaded by
the annoyance to the point of carrying
a revolver for his own protection
against the officers.

The Southern Women in the Lend.

1T Is really matter OF Indifference
whether or not society leader is in
dlgcnous to the soil, or whether she is
imported from some foreign cline, but
usually there are certain peculiarities of
either complexion, dress or manners that
prevent strange. from mingling in
New York society for any length Of time
without bctraylng her foreign cXtrac-
ton. New York society that is the
ultm-taShlOnaDlC, may be very exclusive,
but 1t is, nevertheless, composed of
heterogeneous parts. In addition to the
foreigners who are admitted into its
charmed circle, each section of this
country contributes its quota Of mem
DcrS, and the distinctive characteristics
OF each one arc as noticeable to II close
observer as the foreign and conccited
ways Of the British nobility, or the
mncinS daintinCsS Of the over -foppish
frcnchman. We have Wcstclncrs and
SOuthcrnors who are easily distinguished
from the genuine Gothamtes, although
they have been SO closely connected with
New York society in its doings for years
past they are generally recognized
throughout the country as genuine New
Workers.

among the most beautiful and cultivated,
